Why, why, why do they do that ??

Watching the action movie "The Punisher" last night and the action hero is chasing the bad guys on a Triumph Bonny (new-build). As he rides it like a motocrosser (not really the issue),..the noise of it dubbed over sounds like a 4-cylinder Gixxer-ish !! . Why not just put open pipes on the Trumpy ?
Does Hollywood think we are stoopid?

not as bad as watching the surfing on tv3 yesterday, everytime they did a little turn or got a barrel or something, they'd overplay this sound like someone with explosive diarrhoea taking a dump in a bucket of water, got sooo annoying after about 5 seconds

Yeah I noticed that on the movie, man it sounded so lame.

**MattRSK** · 30th October 2006, 12:18

Good movie though eh!

**Cibby** · 30th October 2006, 12:20

yeah, the movie "Torque" is a lot like that.. full of crap

ever notice how the put tire "Screech" markes if a car takes off quickly or turns quickly even on gravel?

WOW!

...and where do I get a bike that has 32 gears a-la Biker Boyz. They had so many upshifts in that movie.

Avanti make them i think!

Or the special off-road on-road tyres in MI. Racing solids to knobblies in a few cut scenes! Absolute magic!

And another embarassing movie where a bike had problems chasing a van - uphill.

The classic film mistake - the clocks on the bike not moving when its "riding" or the reflection of it on a trailer in the side of an opposite vehicle.

Good one for that is in Top Gun where Maverick is "riding" his GPz9 down the taxiway next to a taking off F-14 (why he would be allowed to do this one wonders..) and you can see the tie-down strap out the front just under the fairing.....
Oh dear...

now i'm not entirely sure how this works but have you ever seen a jet powered bike do a burnout?

I dont reckon Baker and Poncherello were really riding either.

**nudemetalz** · 30th October 2006, 15:06

But CHiPs were sooooo cool when I was a young boy

punisher is an awesome movie, theres no good guys, Its awesome. (being hollyword you feel some sort of empathy for the main guy though.) If it had been a touch more darker it would of been better. (and worked on the script!) I like the humour in the fighting though. That was well done.

One of my fav action movies
